Refreshing to see intelligent, honest, and civil discussions these days. They were both amazing I thought. Mad respect for the daughter of Meles, having finally heard her speak. Meles is for sure proud and lucky.

First time ever to see Semhal Meles. I've heard some rumors when i was back in Ethiopia. Now i know that they were indeed just rumors. I find her very articulate, rational and very confident. Knowledge is power!!!
Love. I ended up watching the whole interview in one sit, which is quite much in today's digital media consumption time. What a wonderful personality Semhal is. With enough resources to build on ideas, people like Semhal can change the lives of many. I wish you a greatly rewarding career. Great interviewer as well! Thank you.
What a wonderful and insightful interview! The questions were also very good. I wish that she would extend her concern and passion for nation-building to the rest of the country. She clearly demonstrated that she is a brilliant intellectual who can understand and articulate sophisticated issues - something bigger than Tigray. I wish her all the best!
It's very impressive discourse! Semhal is a critical thinker and exhibits a truly intellectual charm! Each and every sentence she utters is so perceptive, deep and profound. Many thanks for both of you!

I was so delighted to watch and listen to the interview held between Semhal and Tghat. The former prime minister, Meles Zenawi was the most influential leader of the moment. I never forget his three big decisions that enabled the country to move one step forward. These three big decisions of the time changed the social, political, and economic fate of the country to some extent. His three big decisions were: 1. The Renaissance Dam start-up 2. The military operation on Alshebab 3. The African Union Office to be in the capital Addis He played a spearheading role in the above big projects to be implemented, and they were well done. I also never forget the golden political speeches he made in the parliament to the public. I can say that he was one of the meritocratic leaders. However, his political ideology, the Ethno-linguistic federal governing system dismantled the country and ignited conflicts among different ethnic groups instead of building the nation and prospering the people. Indeed, had he been alive, he would have changed the devastating governing system. Therefore, leaders of the moment should take a lesson from such kind of political ideology. Best wishes, A. S.

I am truly impressed by her. She possesses an abundance of knowledge and energy, and she is incredibly brilliant. It is evident that intelligence runs in the family.❤💛Tigray Excellences.
This lady is amazingly smart. @SemhalMeles I couldn't stop listening to her views. She is the best and most decent woman I ever enjoy her intellectual arguments. Keep it up dear!
Just think about ur Country Eritrea 🇪🇷 they have more issues jeberti rashaida saho akele hamasen seraye etc lambadusa Sinai desert 😊 why don't u concern about this why paying waste time energy about something it's not the business of u Tigrai Ethiopia business politics belongs to the people of Tigrai not Kenya or Eritrea 😊
And why are you not talking about your Tigrai. Killing, robbing, rape, HiV, prostitution, drugs, kidnaping etc. And the couse of all the problems of Eritrea was was your people. But don't about Eritrea though your people are testing thier own medicine. One thing Eritrea need to do at this time is to build a wall so your ppl will not come to Eritrea.@@serenityshalom7387
This's my first time to see Semhal. I couldn't believe her depth of her knowledge. She's quick to think and respond. Dhe has reminded me of her father. Her look, her quick reaction and her wit. Thank you for having her on your show ❤️ 🙏
waaaaw ! Did not much from her or about her recently. This interview was worth the time. Deep understanding of many issues that we could read bn the lines!
Ethnic- oriented politics is not the problem. I have lived in many countries around the world that have this political system. It’s natural and close to the people but in Ethiopia there is a huge misunderstanding about Ethnic politics. This misunderstanding is based on the fact that under Haile sellase rule Amharas subjugated the rest of Ethiopia, then, we had the communist regime - dictatorship that ruled the country under the barrel of the gun, then, came TPLF which followed adopted the same politics under guise of federalism. They adopted federalism only on paper but on practice, they were not different from the previous Ethiopian regimes. At least in Somali region, we have seen it worse under Tigray rule. The prove is in the pudding - they ultimately had fallen victims of their own politics - just a small minority that managed to somehow rule Ethiopia with the barrel for so long. They had their time but their folly caught up with them and they tasted their own medicine. Tigray region is in dire economic, social, political situation. That’s as result of arrogance and falsified democracy that they have been giving a lip service to but in practice they killed, pillaged millions of innocent civilians. Mass starvation and just a pure evil. Keep calling for Tigray liberation. You can’t liberate yourself without allowing others for the same liberty.
I think the problem starts when ethnic federalism is proposed as a solution for the chronic problem of class difference and social injustice, a problem which the Ethiopian people are still suffering from. Ethnic based oppression was only coined in the 60's to better serve Socialist Ideologies in a country like Ethiopian which did not have enough working class (wezader) but needed a term that could mobilize the peasants giving them a credible cause into joining the revolution. The feudal rule oppressed the society in bases of class and not ethnic identity. This can be proven in where the Amhara rule oppressed its own pesants during their hegemony. The farmer suffered less from his national identity than systemic social and economic injustices. Now modern day elits are running around solving fake crisises. When TPLF/ EPRDF adopted this ideology in their modern day state building they opened hell's gate to ethnocentrism and twisted nationalism. Now when ever an "elite" fails to address its people's social and economic demands they all hide back in their "national identity crisis" bs. I stand with Meles in most of his economic reform policies and anti neoliberalism advocacies but federalism where in the name of ethnic autonomy regional states are given the right to land and cessation? Who asked for this? And the genius Abiy Ahmed did a remarkable job in turning the country around into a complete circus. TBH the Tigrayan people are better off without the leadership that got them in this clusterf*ck in the first place.
@@samuelkebede9536 I think the problem is not ethnic based regional autonomy politics. The real problem is when this ethnic federalism exists only on paper but in practice there is total hegemony of other ethnic groups by whoever is on the top. We have seen this with Meles and Ahmed Abey has not stray away from this practice. I don’t see elites in Ethiopia- the leaders don’t deserve to be dignified with this name. When you kill innocent civilians and bring the whole country to its knees economically, socially and politically examples Tigray, Oramia, Amhara region - the only description for this kind of leadership is thuggery and pillagers. Elites in other countries, look after their interests which lie in engaging in constructive politics not inhalation of its people like we have witnessed in Ethiopia. For the Somali region we have always lived in what you call hells-gate. We have been always been at the mercy of the military. They turned the whole region into barren land. During the Tigray-led government, even the president of the region was symbolic figure and the general was fully in charge. This was under pretext of security. Soldiers can shoot you without fear of any repercussions. There was no room for any development. Every Ethiopian leader will say ‘I am treating Somalis better than my precedent’. - this is the yardstick they use to rule us. This is wrong because the whole region’s population fate SHOULD NOT REST ON THE GOODWILL of a leader. Somalis are not employed in the Federal government departments. The few who are employed are not treated with that well. They are viewed as foreigners. Currently you will find all Ethiopian ethnic groups working in or doing business in the Somali region without any discrimination or hostility. Can Somalis work and do business in other regions? No they can’t except in Addis Ababa.
@asadabdulahi1257 Interesting outlook from Somalia's perspective. Interested in looking more into reason behind Somali's current state. What was the cause of the Jigjiga's 2018 unrest. What is the reason behind continuous border disputes with Oromia region. Why did Somalia fail short in securing power to influence the central government and maintain regional autonomy. Is it corrupt officials oppresing their own people, or is it ethnic based oppression coming from the federal part. If it's the latter, then why didn't the oppression stop when there was a change in regime? If the oppression continues, best believe it towards all regions in Ethiopia like Gambela, Benishangul, Afar, etc. and not just one specific group being targeted because of it's ethnic identity. Are there any political parties working towards resisting this oppression within or abroad? Are there any political parties with a clear manifesto? Just curious. These are just my opinions. Willing to be corrected.
@@samuelkebede9536 unfortunately it’s our experience and history with Ethiopia. The wars that have been raging on in Tigray, Amhara and Oramia regions for the last five years have been our experience under all the Ethiopian regimes. It only for the last five years that we did not see an active war in our region. I’m not saying things have been great in the rest of Ethiopia under previous governments but our case was one much horrendous and it was based on ethnic cleansing and under strict military rule. Our nominal regional leaders were imposed and selected from Addis Ababa. In every city was surrounded by military barracks. Soldiers killed with impunity and without fear of any repercussions.
At a personal level - my grandmother had eight boys - five of them were killed by Ethiopian soldiers. No one was put in jail. None of my uncles were involved in any activities against the government. My family would not be an exception. We are the norm. There is no family in the Somali region who have not lost family members to the Ethiopian military.
Like father like daughter. I am honestly surprised by the level of knowledge of politics she has. Social media had really misled my thoughts about her. Thank you very much for Semhal and the media.

Thank you Teklay and TGHAT for hosting Semhal Melese the daughter of the greatest leader PM Melese Zenawi! Proud of you dearest Semahal and I pray to rest in eternal peace the beloved late PM Melese!!! He is greatly missed!
@@temesgenketi Alright, let's start by saying may he rest in peace. He was a strong leader, no doubt about it, but his vision for Ethiopia was seriously flawed. It's cost the country a huge price, and it's especially hurt the Tigrayan people. The whole idea of national unity his guys were talking about didn't really bring people together. It was more like stacking explosives that eventually blew up in everyone's face. Even for Tigray, his home region, he made some really bad calls. He was right there when they were writing the constitution, and he ended up giving Tigray less power because it was a minority vote. Anyone who knows Tigray's history would never do that. The crazy thing is, after he messed that up, he made sure the cabinet had equal voting power to hold his position, but Tigray still didn't get the attention it needed. His whole time in power, the stories they were spreading weren't good for Tigray in the long run. I mean, Tigray is mostly Orthodox Christian, right? They have a rich history of kings and their culture is really similar to Eritrea and Amhara. But his government went against all that. We could talk for hours about how he messed up the country in every way: social, political, economic, you name it.

That was good interview. I was amazed by semhal's intelligence and independent views to political Tigray and the whole of Ethiopia . Even though I don't concur her views its an amazing interview . 'Kudos to Semhal'.
Thank you Semhal for the insightful discussion🙏🏽 I am so glad to hear you say to the interviewer“The institution isn’t a joke.” Indeed it isn’t a joke & Tigray without an institution, it is a done deal.
Happy to see Semhal giving interview ❤. I’m an Ethiopian (not Tigrayan) and I’m so grateful to her Dad for all what he has done for Ethiopia. Meles was a great, if not the greatest leader Ethiopia and Africa have ever seen. I ❤ Meles
As a Tigrayan, the fact that our Ethiopian neighbours currently woke up and praise former PM Meles Zenawi shows the arrival of Jesus Christ. Haleluya Ameen.
Now I believe that yes Meles wrote a lot as he was saying it, and she read his write-up’s to a level of maturity as we see her very seasoned political views and analysis. I am sure Meles didn’t trained her to be such a matured girl as one he was very busy at his duties second she was not old enough to understand when he was alive.
Great job Semhal. Thank you for sharing your views boldly and for your openness. By the way it is OK to repeat yourself or restate your previous utterings in order to remind, elaborate or expound them.
Very Interesting and cerebral discussion! It is difficult to wed left leaning tendencies with ultra tribalism which finds its interpretation best in right wing politics. Semhal did a very good job answering the question, staying true to her roots but avoiding the rhetorics of the narrow minded bonpartists of old, without going into common pitfalls. I am sure her dad would be proud.
Most of the sons and daughters of political leaders are often perceived as uneducated and spoiled, living lives of privilege without understanding the responsibilities that come with their status. However, Selam stands out as a remarkable exception. She embodies maturity and wisdom far beyond her years, displaying a deep understanding of the world around her.
Thank you Semhal for the insightful discussion🙏🏽 I am so glad to hear you say to the interviewer“The institution isn’t a joke.” Indeed it isn’t a joke & Tigray without an institution, it is a done deal. If the young are looking an answer from a genocidal government, then you are looking for another abuse. I call this thought, suffering from Stockholm syndrome.
I honer the knowledge and admire how Professor Andrias Eshete looks the world in his magnifying lenses. She seems to be the replica of Prof. That is a wise decision to follow here own preference and paths. She is not an ordinary politician who speaks from her mouth. She speaks from her brain and dèp research. Appreciated. Keep it up.
Very impressive.... ! I really appreciate her knowledgeable and well-articulated conversation with deeply rooted ideas viewing things from different perspectives.
The war was stated by TPLF by attacking the Northern command stationed in Tigray. The Government of Ethiopia had an obligation to defend the country from this barbarism. I think the Pretoria agreement is signed and for the sack of peace and stability all parties should try to resolve any issues through dialogue. Let’s move from the past and focus on the future.
She has her father's intelligence, but her allegiance to the TPLF is what many still unfortunately still hold. She claims to hate the elite in Tigray but still reverts back to being an apologist at times. TPLF has done nothing for Tigray and been on a downward spiral since Meles passed. All they've succeeded was use innocent Tegaru's as human shields since launching the attack on Nov 3rd, 2020. Glad many Tegaru's in Tigray are waking up- despite their voices being drowned out by the toxic diaspora children of the TPLF.
Thank you So much Tghat media and interviewer (Tek) for ur dedication, committment and work hard tirelessly. ❤❤❤ Nice to see the bravery smart, wise and heroine lady #SemhalMeles.❤❤❤ She is talking based on her knowledge and very critical thinker.#Tigray has a bright future by the new generation.❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰

Meles a dictator for 20 years from TPLF. he divided ethiopia into ethnic regions and its the respondable for what happens today in ethiopia. Ethiopians before abiy had ethnic groups on their identity card thats what meles did for dividing ethiopia. Ethiopians deserve what you have because you Will never speek up on your dictators. its a shame to call a Hero meles zenawi. He Is also the reason why ethiopia dont have access to the Sea and all deaths in badme's useless war against eritrea.
Thanks for articulated sharing! The shift from social justice to eschatology by using the external forces help instead conflict resolution in between the ppl, the political struggle between tplf vs the new president should be solved through referendum or else to avoid internal turmoil!
Teklay and people close to Semhal… convince her to serve Tigray in some capacity. She’s too good to be sidelined & be inactive observer. Old guards out, let new generation take over.
Very thoughtful and deep discussion. Semhal should come out more often to the media. She seems very much self-aware and independent thinker. There is definitely some sort of unconscious imitation to her father.
She distanced herself from the tigray elite's group in a smart way. She deeply loves her root (Tigray!), understands the world well👍, and is kinda sophisticated and more like a global citizen. On the otherhand, the man is very much like one of the 'elites', the group that she hates. He tried hard to collect himself and understand while listening to her daunting analysis and expressions. Having a global mindset rather than an 'elite' perspective would help in understanding someone like Semhal👌, I think.
How I love the decency of this media, so professional & no gossip or insult or rumors just calm & resourceful. Thank you Teklay keep up the good work

Really love z points she raised and even how she tried to look at them from different angles!Big Respect Our ex-pm Meles Zenawi!
I am truly impressed by her. She possesses an abundance of knowledge and energy, and she is incredibly brilliant. It is evident that intelligence runs in the family.❤💛Tigray Excellences.
This lady is amazingly smart. @SemhalMeles I couldn't stop listening to her views. She is the best and most decent woman I ever enjoy her intellectual arguments. Keep it up dear!
From Eritrea . Enjoyed listening to her point of view, more intelligent discussions ☮️🙏🏽
Just think about ur Country Eritrea 🇪🇷 they have more issues jeberti rashaida saho akele hamasen seraye etc lambadusa Sinai desert 😊 why don't u concern about this why paying waste time energy about something it's not the business of u Tigrai Ethiopia business politics belongs to the people of Tigrai not Kenya or Eritrea 😊

And why are you not talking about your Tigrai. Killing, robbing, rape, HiV, prostitution, drugs, kidnaping etc. And the couse of all the problems of Eritrea was was your people. But don't about Eritrea though your people are testing thier own medicine. One thing Eritrea need to do at this time is to build a wall so your ppl will not come to Eritrea.@@serenityshalom7387
This's my first time to see Semhal. I couldn't believe her depth of her knowledge. She's quick to think and respond. Dhe has reminded me of her father. Her look, her quick reaction and her wit. Thank you for having her on your show ❤️ 🙏
waaaaw ! Did not much from her or about her recently. This interview was worth the time. Deep understanding of many issues that we could read bn the lines!
Very thoughtful Semhal, God bless you and keep fighting.
Very eloquent 👌🏽
Like father, like daughter ❤
She lacks discipline, using her dad influence , she could have been IMF director.
"It's always a treat to watch your videos, and today's episode was especially captivating. I truly enjoyed it."
Ethnic- oriented politics is not the problem. I have lived in many countries around the world that have this political system. It’s natural and close to the people but in Ethiopia there is a huge misunderstanding about Ethnic politics. This misunderstanding is based on the fact that under Haile sellase rule Amharas subjugated the rest of Ethiopia, then, we had the communist regime - dictatorship that ruled the country under the barrel of the gun, then, came TPLF which followed adopted the same politics under guise of federalism. They adopted federalism only on paper but on practice, they were not different from the previous Ethiopian regimes.
At least in Somali region, we have seen it worse under Tigray rule. The prove is in the pudding - they ultimately had fallen victims of their own politics - just a small minority that managed to somehow rule Ethiopia with the barrel for so long. They had their time but their folly caught up with them and they tasted their own medicine. Tigray region is in dire economic, social, political situation. That’s as result of arrogance and falsified democracy that they have been giving a lip service to but in practice they killed, pillaged millions of innocent civilians. Mass starvation and just a pure evil. Keep calling for Tigray liberation. You can’t liberate yourself without allowing others for the same liberty.
I think the problem starts when ethnic federalism is proposed as a solution for the chronic problem of class difference and social injustice, a problem which the Ethiopian people are still suffering from. Ethnic based oppression was only coined in the 60's to better serve Socialist Ideologies in a country like Ethiopian which did not have enough working class (wezader) but needed a term that could mobilize the peasants giving them a credible cause into joining the revolution. The feudal rule oppressed the society in bases of class and not ethnic identity. This can be proven in where the Amhara rule oppressed its own pesants during their hegemony. The farmer suffered less from his national identity than systemic social and economic injustices. Now modern day elits are running around solving fake crisises.
When TPLF/ EPRDF adopted this ideology in their modern day state building they opened hell's gate to ethnocentrism and twisted nationalism. Now when ever an "elite" fails to address its people's social and economic demands they all hide back in their "national identity crisis" bs.
I stand with Meles in most of his economic reform policies and anti neoliberalism advocacies but federalism where in the name of ethnic autonomy regional states are given the right to land and cessation? Who asked for this?
And the genius Abiy Ahmed did a remarkable job in turning the country around into a complete circus.
TBH the Tigrayan people are better off without the leadership that got them in this clusterf*ck in the first place.
@@samuelkebede9536 I think the problem is not ethnic based regional autonomy politics. The real problem is when this ethnic federalism exists only on paper but in practice there is total hegemony of other ethnic groups by whoever is on the top.
We have seen this with Meles and Ahmed Abey has not stray away from this practice.
I don’t see elites in Ethiopia- the leaders don’t deserve to be dignified with this name.
When you kill innocent civilians and bring the whole country to its knees economically, socially and politically examples Tigray, Oramia, Amhara region - the only description for this kind of leadership is thuggery and pillagers. Elites in other countries, look after their interests which lie in engaging in constructive politics not inhalation of its people like we have witnessed in Ethiopia. For the Somali region we have always lived in what you call hells-gate. We have been always been at the mercy of the military. They turned the whole region into barren land. During the Tigray-led government, even the president of the region was symbolic figure and the general was fully in charge. This was under pretext of security.
Soldiers can shoot you without fear of any repercussions. There was no room for any development.
Every Ethiopian leader will say ‘I am treating Somalis better than my precedent’. - this is the yardstick they use to rule us. This is wrong because the whole region’s population fate SHOULD NOT REST ON THE GOODWILL of a leader.
Somalis are not employed in the Federal government departments. The few who are employed are not treated with that well. They are viewed as foreigners.
Currently you will find all Ethiopian ethnic groups working in or doing business in the Somali region without any discrimination or hostility. Can Somalis work and do business in other regions? No they can’t except in Addis Ababa.
@asadabdulahi1257 Interesting outlook from Somalia's perspective. Interested in looking more into reason behind Somali's current state. What was the cause of the Jigjiga's 2018 unrest. What is the reason behind continuous border disputes with Oromia region. Why did Somalia fail short in securing power to influence the central government and maintain regional autonomy. Is it corrupt officials oppresing their own people, or is it ethnic based oppression coming from the federal part. If it's the latter, then why didn't the oppression stop when there was a change in regime? If the oppression continues, best believe it towards all regions in Ethiopia like Gambela, Benishangul, Afar, etc. and not just one specific group being targeted because of it's ethnic identity.
Are there any political parties working towards resisting this oppression within or abroad? Are there any political parties with a clear manifesto? Just curious. These are just my opinions. Willing to be corrected.
@@samuelkebede9536 unfortunately it’s our experience and history with Ethiopia. The wars that have been raging on in Tigray, Amhara and Oramia regions for the last five years have been our experience under all the Ethiopian regimes. It only for the last five years that we did not see an active war in our region.
I’m not saying things have been great in the rest of Ethiopia under previous governments but our case was one much horrendous and it was based on ethnic cleansing and under strict military rule. Our nominal regional leaders were imposed and selected from Addis Ababa.
In every city was surrounded by military barracks. Soldiers killed with impunity and without fear of any repercussions.
At a personal level - my grandmother had eight boys - five of them were killed by Ethiopian soldiers. No one was put in jail. None of my uncles were involved in any activities against the government. My family would not be an exception. We are the norm. There is no family in the Somali region who have not lost family members to the Ethiopian military.
Like father like daughter. I am honestly surprised by the level of knowledge of politics she has. Social media had really misled my thoughts about her. Thank you very much for Semhal and the media.
what did she say ? Tplf's great tradition was knowledge production ? did she say knowledge production? what knowledge ? this destructive ethnic-politics or ethnic-federalism is one of their great knowledge ? is this destructive primordial politics one of their great knowledge ? Bro, this is not great knowledge ...this is rather great stupidity which puts Ethiopia and its people into this awful situation,mess and destruction!!!
After all these mess and destruction, Tplfists never learn - very sad

@ 29:50 is all you need to hear
@@temesgenketi Alright, let's start by saying may he rest in peace. He was a strong leader, no doubt about it, but his vision for Ethiopia was seriously flawed. It's cost the country a huge price, and it's especially hurt the Tigrayan people. The whole idea of national unity his guys were talking about didn't really bring people together. It was more like stacking explosives that eventually blew up in everyone's face. Even for Tigray, his home region, he made some really bad calls. He was right there when they were writing the constitution, and he ended up giving Tigray less power because it was a minority vote. Anyone who knows Tigray's history would never do that. The crazy thing is, after he messed that up, he made sure the cabinet had equal voting power to hold his position, but Tigray still didn't get the attention it needed. His whole time in power, the stories they were spreading weren't good for Tigray in the long run. I mean, Tigray is mostly Orthodox Christian, right? They have a rich history of kings and their culture is really similar to Eritrea and Amhara. But his government went against all that. We could talk for hours about how he messed up the country in every way: social, political, economic, you name it.

That was good interview. I was amazed by semhal's intelligence and independent views to political Tigray and the whole of Ethiopia . Even though I don't concur her views its an amazing interview . 'Kudos to Semhal'.
Thank you Semhal for the insightful discussion🙏🏽 I am so glad to hear you say to the interviewer“The institution isn’t a joke.” Indeed it isn’t a joke & Tigray without an institution, it is a done deal.
Thank you for choosing the wright channel Semhal. Glad to see you dear.
You both are great! You articulated your point perfectly
Very important discussion.
Thank you both Teklay of Tghat and Semhal Meles.
I REALLY ENJOYED HER and the presenter, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Happy to see Semhal giving interview ❤.
I’m an Ethiopian (not Tigrayan) and I’m so grateful to her Dad for all what he has done for Ethiopia.
Meles was a great, if not the greatest leader Ethiopia and Africa have ever seen.
I ❤ Meles
Well said 😊
Agree 👍
You believe tigray as a country
@@genetbrhane7433 It’s up to the people of Tigray to decide.
And the decision should be respected by all Ethiopians.
As a Tigrayan, the fact that our Ethiopian neighbours currently woke up and praise former PM Meles Zenawi shows the arrival of Jesus Christ. Haleluya Ameen.
This is my first time to listen to Tighat media.I wish if the interview was in Tigringa or Amharic so that many Ethiopians could listen the interview.
Now I believe that yes Meles wrote a lot as he was saying it, and she read his write-up’s to a level of maturity as we see her very seasoned political views and analysis. I am sure Meles didn’t trained her to be such a matured girl as one he was very busy at his duties second she was not old enough to understand when he was alive.
Great job Semhal. Thank you for sharing your views boldly and for your openness. By the way it is OK to repeat yourself or restate your previous utterings in order to remind, elaborate or expound them.
It was a quiet and very interesting discussion. Welcome Semahal Gaul Tigray. ❤❤❤
Very Interesting and cerebral discussion! It is difficult to wed left leaning tendencies with ultra tribalism which finds its interpretation best in right wing politics. Semhal did a very good job answering the question, staying true to her roots but avoiding the rhetorics of the narrow minded bonpartists of old, without going into common pitfalls. I am sure her dad would be proud.
Most of the sons and daughters of political leaders are often perceived as uneducated and spoiled, living lives of privilege without understanding the responsibilities that come with their status. However, Selam stands out as a remarkable exception. She embodies maturity and wisdom far beyond her years, displaying a deep understanding of the world around her.
Welcome Semhal. You have been avoiding the media circus for long. In addition, I would like to say that’ I am glad you are safe and alive. Keep it up.
I see that Semhal is intelligent, articulate. I hope she writes more on this and be a bit bolder than she is now.
Thank you Semhal for the insightful discussion🙏🏽 I am so glad to hear you say to the interviewer“The institution isn’t a joke.” Indeed it isn’t a joke & Tigray without an institution, it is a done deal. If the young are looking an answer from a genocidal government, then you are looking for another abuse. I call this thought, suffering from Stockholm syndrome.
Thanks both of you,
We got nice perspectives from Semhal
Though I don't agree with her view regarding the possibility of Tigray staying with Ethiopia
Wow this is the first time to see Semhal on social media speaking, Very articulate and thoughtful discussion. Thank you Tghat media
Very interesting host talking substance with the great Semhal with well groomed understanding of elitistic political view!
Actually, you are very articulate and intelligent,great and insightful interview, thank you Tighat.
Semhal:- Good to see you back again in this pretty much deep and focused ways of delivering your perspectives.
Happy to see her…. Great interview 👍
You are great Semhal!
I honer the knowledge and admire how Professor Andrias Eshete looks the world in his magnifying lenses. She seems to be the replica of Prof. That is a wise decision to follow here own preference and paths. She is not an ordinary politician who speaks from her mouth. She speaks from her brain and dèp research. Appreciated. Keep it up.
' A replica ' 🤣🤣🤣
I am impressed by Semhal serenity and approach to every question. Very articulate young lady.
Very good interview . Be forthcoming and remind us the unforgettable PM Meles Zenawi
Very impressive.... ! I really appreciate her knowledgeable and well-articulated conversation with deeply rooted ideas viewing things from different perspectives.
The war was stated by TPLF by attacking the Northern command stationed in Tigray. The Government of Ethiopia had an obligation to defend the country from this barbarism. I think the Pretoria agreement is signed and for the sack of peace and stability all parties should try to resolve any issues through dialogue. Let’s move from the past and focus on the future.
Finally a smart comment❤🇪🇹
"Don't judge the book by its cover", I never thought Semhal M at this level. My Salute for your articulation!
Well seasoned conversation,♥️ from ye ADDIS ABABA lej😊not the craziness we see on both sides after a horrific civil war.
i realy admired of her expression and energy so hopefuly you will gonna be influecial leader as of our hero andur dada PM Meles Zenawi❤
Never say you do not appreciate your communication skill in terms of speaking.Your speaking skill is evident!
She is smart just like his dad. Prime. Minster meles thanks for inviting her bro
She has her father's intelligence, but her allegiance to the TPLF is what many still unfortunately still hold. She claims to hate the elite in Tigray but still reverts back to being an apologist at times. TPLF has done nothing for Tigray and been on a downward spiral since Meles passed. All they've succeeded was use innocent Tegaru's as human shields since launching the attack on Nov 3rd, 2020. Glad many Tegaru's in Tigray are waking up- despite their voices being drowned out by the toxic diaspora children of the TPLF.

Semhal you should proud meles is the hero not only in Ethiopia all over the world I am happy to see you
Meles was a national treasure. So did the proffessor.
Meles a dictator for 20 years from TPLF. he divided ethiopia into ethnic regions and its the respondable for what happens today in ethiopia. Ethiopians before abiy had ethnic groups on their identity card thats what meles did for dividing ethiopia. Ethiopians deserve what you have because you Will never speek up on your dictators. its a shame to call a Hero meles zenawi. He Is also the reason why ethiopia dont have access to the Sea and all deaths in badme's useless war against eritrea.
Clearly a brilliant mind, a gift Semhal has inherited from her father Meles Zenawi.
Very brilliant young lady! You out shined your interviewer. I absolutely agree with you! Gobez!
Simply put, brilliant!
NICE to listen you S though it was nice that medium of language was Amharic so that lots of people able to understand yr message
Thanks for articulated sharing!
The shift from social justice to eschatology by using the external forces help instead conflict resolution in between the ppl, the political struggle between tplf vs the new president should be solved through referendum or else to avoid internal turmoil!
Teklay and people close to Semhal… convince her to serve Tigray in some capacity. She’s too good to be sidelined & be inactive observer.
Old guards out, let new generation take over.
“Convince”?? Nobody should be convinced to serve, they should want to serve!
Very thoughtful and deep discussion. Semhal should come out more often to the media. She seems very much self-aware and independent thinker. There is definitely some sort of unconscious imitation to her father.
The dancing lady is intelligent, composed, and confident. I like her.
She has deeply rooted knowledge with good discipline and respect 🙏
She distanced herself from the tigray elite's group in a smart way. She deeply loves her root (Tigray!), understands the world well👍, and is kinda sophisticated and more like a global citizen. On the otherhand, the man is very much like one of the 'elites', the group that she hates. He tried hard to collect himself and understand while listening to her daunting analysis and expressions. Having a global mindset rather than an 'elite' perspective would help in understanding someone like Semhal👌, I think.
Nice to see Samhar respect and love
